Did I really agree to go to this? My girlfriend started pushing the idea simply because she wants to see The Jesus & Mary Chain. She mentioned Gang of Four and I agreed. She then read off the remaining lineup and I did everything possible to rescind. It'll be nice to sit on the lawn and relax, but boy are there some seriously crap bands playing.
